See now you have me wondering and thinking that I need an instant pot. I use my crock pot at least 3 times a week. I work a split shift from home so even though I can't eat dinner with the kids they still have dinner. lol Why do I need an instant pot. And I think you should get both btw I will sign the letter.

Ok y'all...is it REALLY like fried food? I've been on the fence...I want one of these and an instant pot, but dayum...I've got small appliances coming out of my ass! Literally! Out. OF. MY. ASS!!! Am I yelling?

But at night, these 2 little cooks' helpers whisper my name and croon to me to buy them and make them mine...

Is the air fryer TRULY worth it? Or will I feel used and abused by morning?

Just my experience with an airfrier. It's excellent for potatoes, frozen food (chicken tenders fish sticks fries basically **** we shouldn't be eating), and it's pretty damn good for faux fried foods (chicken and fish). I haven't tried it on anything else so that's all I know.

As for the faux fried foods it really depends how healthy you wanna make it. Yes you could make chicken that taste like it was fried, but you'd have to add quite a bit of breading (if you want breading) and oil (yes you still use oil with air frying but MUCH MUCH less).

For example I'm a picky eater and I've only enjoyed fish fried. The last few days I tried air frying fish. I probably used a tablespoon of fine almond flour (roughly 40 calories and this is enough for me to make 2 small meals) and a "spritz" of oil (I basically use a Pam spray bottle and barely give it a tiny bit of oil it's extremely little)

The end product comes out very light with not much color, and has a little but not a lot of crunch. It absolutely does not taste like fried fish, however it is "close enough" that I could enjoy it especially knowing it's actually quite healthy. If you added a decent amount of oil (or used a moderate amount of breading or less healthy breading ie breadcrumbs) it would be less healthy and taste more fried.

I think chicken is easier to make taste like it's fried if you brine it (not everybody likes brined chicken, I personally love it)

Overall I am happy with my purchase and have no regrets but don't think it's a life changer either

I am so glad to find this topic. I am only 9 days post op and have been thinking about purchasing an air fryer (after watching an infomercial...lol). I am struggling thinking about what I will cook when I can eat food. These comments sold me, because it looks like it will allow me to eat healthy while still satisfying my non-dieting boyfriend. Is the instant pot good as well?

Sunday I pulled Walleye out of the freezer that my brother caught last summer cut it up into small bite-sized pieces and I put steak seasoning on it. OMG it was so good!!!!
